2026-02-09 07:52:28There are many Mortal World in this novel and what determines the world to be a mortal world is the spiritual energy it produced! Once a world can only produce spiritual roots of the lowest to mid tier, it's immediately labeled as mortal world.
Immortal world on the other hand has thick spiritual energy and can produce high to highest spiritual roots if a cultovator cultivate in that world. So the moment you are born in the mortal world, without a connection to the Immortal clan and be accepted as their outer disciples, your fate is already sealed to be a mere mortal! To reach the Immortal realm, and start cultivating into Qi Gathering Stage, one needs vast resources but all resources are manipulated by the Immortal clans. Without a connection to them even with a heaven-defying body constitution you won't reach the Qi Gathering stage, the lowest stage of the Immortal stage! In this novel, there is no such sects here—only Clans. Immortals here cultivate their own bloodline rather than picking up random people. If you are an exceptional mortal that you even managed to catch the eyes of the Immortals then you can marry off to that Immortal clans and be part of that clan making you their branch. Strengthening the clan more. Every Immortal clans of this world own at least 5-20 mortal worlds. If you're born in this world in a mortal world without connection, you're done for. Forget your heaven-defying constitution. The highest spiritual roots you can have is the lowest one! And without resources and cultivation manuals from the Immortal clans, you won't reach Qi Gathering Stage. Meaning: you're done for lol. And Han Clan is one of the rulling Immortal clan in this world as Han Tian Yi's father is at the early stage of Saint stage, only one step lower from Dao God while his mother is at the mid stage of True Immortal stage a level only lower to Dao God and Saint Stage! Making their clan tier as a highest tier! Immortals ranked from: Qi Gathering Stage as the lowest and Dao God as the highest one can attained (but this is just a legend since no one actually reached it yet) Secluded domains are natural occurrence in the higher realm but it's rarely seen so not every clan own a secluded domains. One can only be called a demonic cultivator once they threw away their morals and humanity. Righteous cultivator doesn't mean they're kind, these people just didn't threw their humanity but since they're Immortal, they all treat mortals as bug. Qi = used by mortals that learn martial arts. It's the lesser version of spiritual energy. Spiritual energy = Qi with fragments of Dao itself. So by gathering spiritual energy, one can be closer to the Dao itself, the higher the realm the more dao fragments are etched deep in your body. The power structure from the lowest to highest. 1. Mortal –mortal are the lowest and considered bugs. –you are considered mortal if you're a martial artist and even if you reach the highest realm of martial arts as long as you can't use spiritual energy, you won't even defeat the most talentless Qi Gathering Stage. –it doesn't matter if you reach the peak of martial arts. Qi Gathering early stage will be enough to kill you. 2. Qi Gathering Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Beginners that only start cultivating and condensing spiritual core into their bodies. 3. Foundation Establishment Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator stabilizes spiritual sea and forms a foundation for higher cultivation. 4. Core Refining Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Strength increases drastically, can manipulate spiritual energy more easily whether to attack or defend. 5. Nascent Soul Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator's soul strengthens, can separate soul from body. 6. Spirit Severing Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator transcends mortal body limits; body and soul can be separated at will. 7. Dao Seeking Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator begins to understand the laws of the universe (Dao). 8. True Immortal Stage –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator becomes an immortal being, can live indefinitely unless destroyed by extreme force. –This where their lifespan starts to reach thousands of years. 9. Saint Realm –there's four stages here; early, mid, late and peak stage. –Cultivator merges with heaven/matter, can control elements and laws. 10. Dao God –the highest one can get in this novel. It's when they become one with the Dao and can control or create new world. –Full mastery of the Dao, can create or destroy worlds. –Essentially godlike; almost limitless cultivation potential, transcending mortal concepts of time and space. (There's more realm to this but that's after the mc finally reach the Dao God will he learn abt it so it's not necessary right now) That's all~ I hope you got clue to what's going on now... And if you have a question that you're curious about, ask in the comment section and I will include your questions here. (I'll try answering everything)

Chapter 25 – The Opening Gambit
Within the ancestral mountain, inside Han Shin Tao’s private chamber, two figures sat cross-legged facing one another.At a glance, they resembled siblings.They were Han Shin Tao and Han Tian Yi.Han Tian Yi had remained behind under the pretense learning under Han Shin Tao. Leaving immediately after he asked him to be his master would have invited suspicion.Silence lingered between them until Han Shin Tao spoke.“I am curious, Little Yi… how did you accomplish it?”Han Tian Yi tilted his head slightly, confusion flickering across his face.“Grandfather, I do not understand.”“Spare me.” Han Shin Tao’s voice hardened. “You are not clever enough to deceive me.”It was an unspoken rule among cultivators: one shouldn't pry into another’s methods. Techniques were lifelines. To expose them was to invite death.Yet here he was—asking.Han Tian Yi lowered his gaze faintly, lips curving into
Chapter 24 – Blood That Isn’t His
After reading the jade slip, Han Shin Tao did not speak for a long time.His fingers tightened slightly around the slip.Dao Assimilation.Dissolve the core instead of shattering it.Do not resist the Dao.Do not challenge Heaven.Become nothing—So that nothing can be rejected.His jaw stiffened.He had pursued supremacy his entire life. So had every cultivator. But wanting the peak and reaching it were two entirely different things.Peak Saint Realm.That was where almost everyone stopped.The Dao God Realm… was a myth dressed as possibility.The Han Clan having five Peak Saint experts was already abnormal.But the Han Clan itself was abnormal.The higher realm was not a single world. A world only qualified as a “higher realm” once its spiritual density could nurture cultivators all the way to the Dao God Realm.And every such world had a ruler.An Immortal Clan.There were ten.The Han Clan was one of them.Each ruling clan possessed at least one high-rank secluded domain — a world
Chapter 23 – The First Move
Another month passed.Still no summons.Still no pressure.Still no word.Inside his room, Han Tian Yi’s brows slowly tightened.“That old fox…” he muttered, fingers tapping lightly against the armrest. “Why hasn’t he come for it?”He had dangled the greatest temptation in existence — a method to ascend into the Dao God Realm.Any cultivator at the Peak of the Saint Realm would go mad for it.Yet Han Shin Tao remained silent.No probing.No testing.Nothing.Was he waiting for him to grow anxious?To make a mistake?To approach him first?Han Tian Yi exhaled slowly.“So that’s how you want to play…”Silence as pressure.Patience as a blade.“Fine.” he murmured. “I’ll wag my tail first.”But his eyes were cold.He retrieved a jade slip and began inscribing the method — the real one. Each character carved carefully, spiritual sense guiding every stroke. No hidden traps. No false lines.He would not risk the contract backfiring on him.When he finished, he stood and left his residence.-
Chapter 22 – The perfect mask
A week passed after the encounter with Han Shin Tao.And for seven days straight, Han Tian Yi lived as Han Tian Shi.At dawn, he stood before his own ashes in the Hall of the Fallen. The air there was always cold, heavy with incense smoke that lingered like unwilling spirits.He knelt.His shoulders trembled.His fingers clutched at his robes until the knuckles turned white.Tears slid down slowly — not too many, not too few.His breathing was uneven, fragile, as if grief had hollowed him out from within.Anyone who saw him would feel pity.Anyone who watched long enough would believe it.He remained there for hours.Long enough for servants to whisper.Long enough for his clansmen to sigh.Long enough for his parents to feel the ache in his chests.There was no flaw in the performance.Not in his posture.Not in the way he lowered his head.Not in the slight tremor of his lips.Han Tian Yi did not imitate his younger brother.He replaced him.If not for the mark embedded into his sou
Chapter 21 – Unseen Variable
A month had passed since Han Tian Yi’s death.For thirty days, the one who bore the name Han Tian Shi had risen before dawn and walked the same path toward the clan’s resting grounds. His steps never faltered. His breathing never broke rhythm. Even the servants had begun to sigh at his devotion.Today, the sky was still pale with lingering mist when he arrived.Although it was called a graveyard, it was nothing more than a vast, solemn pavilion full of urn, supported by pillars engraved with mourning seals. A cold, heavy aura lingered in the air, mixed with faint traces of spiritual essence.The outer ring housed the ashes of collateral kin.At the center, where spiritual pressure pressed down like an unseen mountain, rested the direct bloodline.He walked straight to the central ring.Before the urn that contained his own ashes, he fell to his knees.His shoulders trembled. His forehead struck the cold stone floor. Tears slid down his face and fell soundlessly as his voice cracked wi
Chapter 20 – His awakening
A shock tore through him the moment his soul left his body.The curse buried deep within his Curse Body Constitution shattered in an instant. It evaporated, vanished, as though it had never existed. Freedom poured in, a breath long denied, filling every corner of his being.And then the memories came.Not gradually, not gently—they came in a torrent, relentless and blinding. He was a man touched by the Dao itself, gifted beyond comprehension. Within him resided the spiritual roots of reincarnation, a rare blessing that allowed him to walk the threads of life and death again and again.Countless lives flashed before him: the righteous, the fallen, the demon, the mortal, the betrayed, the triumphant, the broken. Each incarnation a star igniting, exploding, painting his mind with light and shadow, sorrow and ecstasy, blood and ashes.He saw himself as a child of a noble clan, learning virtue with every gesture, every thought measured against the scales of righteousness. And yet, even th
